Introduction to Linux provides general introductory information on finding, using, and installing the Linux operating system. Inside you'll find numerous "howto" articles written by Linux experts from around the world.
These articles, compiled from the Linux Documentation Project, provides basic information about the Linux operating system, including an explanation of Linux, a list of features, and some important requirements for running Linux. The book also provides a list of valuable sources of information. For more information visit the Linux Documentation Project.
This volume is designed to be a handy desktop companion, saving you the time and expense of printing the documentation yourself. It is also useful when viewing the online version of these howto articles is inconvenient.
About the Author
The Linux Documentation Project is working on developing good, reliable docs for the Linux operating system. The overall goal of the LDP is to collaborate in taking care of all of the issues of Linux documentation, ranging from online docs (man pages, texinfo docs, and so on) to printed manuals covering topics such as installing, using, and running Linux. The LDP is essentially a loose team of volunteers with little central organization; anyone who is interested in helping is welcome to join in the effort. We feel that working together and agreeing on the direction and scope of Linux documentation is the best way to go, to reduce problems with conflicting efforts...two people writing two books on the same aspect of Linux wastes someone's time along the way.
